In 1967 the base Sport Coupe was the lowest priced model of the all-new Camaro line up. The Sport Coupe came standard with a clean, lean form featuring curved body side glass, rakish wheel openings, a blacked-out egg crate-type front grille, openings below the front bumpers which not only looked good but provided a cool air entry. a color -keyed interior with strato-bucket seats up front and a rear seat molded to give that bucket seat feeling, plus a padded instrument panel and sunvisors. This was the standard packaging GM provided with the Sport Coupe.

     As for the performance end of the basic car, there were two drive trains available -the 140-hp Turbo- Thrift 230 six cylinder and a 210-hp Turbo-Fire 327 VB engine. Both were fully synchronized 3-speeds you could shift.

     The new Camaro features of wide-stance stability and big car power were only a small part of the ponycar's popularity. The idea of a sub-framed car was not totally new, but perhaps important to give the public the inexpensive sporty car it had been waiting for.

     If your budget could afford it, you could really get into high style -luxury image without a high cost. Just add a few accessories, an option or two, or maybe even go to the limits - order the open-air version basic model.

     No matter what your choice was, the six-cylinder was priced at $2,466 while the open air bottom-lined at $2,704. Even though the 250 6-cylinder standard coupe may not be looked upon as one of the sought-out collectibles of the decade, it is said to be a better handling, better balanced Camaro than its V8counterpart. Now known as the economy pony car of its time, it was not only a practical car to drive but ideal for the low budget family to purchase.

     The Sport Coupe is easily identified by its two front round parking/directional signal lamps located next to a single unit headlight with anodized aluminum bezels. Another recognizable feature of the model is the rear rectangular tail lamp with combination red marker light for stopping and standard white for backing up.

     Most often buyers brightened up the standard bodies with the RPO Z21 package: Front and rear chrome wheel well moldings, bright roof drip cap moldings, and body accent stripes which came color keyed. Cost was a mere $29.50.

     RPO Z23, the Special Interior Group option, was another dress up item commonly found on the Sport Coupe. This option included bright trim pedal pads, bright metal windshield pillar moldings and roof rail molding. At $10.65 for the extra appointments, there is no doubt why so many of the coupes are found with this bright appeal.

     The V8 sport coupe model 12437 was based at $2,572, while the open air model 12467 was $2,809. Model number identification for the six-cylinder coupe was 12337 and the convertible was 12367. All 1967 Camaro vehicle identifications numbers will be coded with these model numbers for identity. Other notable features of the Sport Coupe were dual speed wipers, seat belts front and rear, and outside rearview mirror.

     It was up to the buyer whether or not to add the frills to the 1967 Camaro. According to statistics, very few Sport Coupes ever sold at the low $2,466 price. Chevy dealers were well known to push the 80-plus factory options and dealer-installed accessories that were available.
